Bold Surrender (The Triumphant Hearts Series, Book 3)

Bold Surrender, set in Maryland in the 1740's is a high adventure romance. Ashley has inherited her grandfather's plantation, however everything is working against her, mainly due to her unmarried status and because she is attempting to handle her affairs on her own. Her attorney employs an overseer on her behalf, and the brawny Scotsman is more man than Ashley is used to dealing with. The relationship between Ashley and Kelt is dynamic and despite their differences in status, Kelt is not a man to be held back by a woman who wields power, and he makes his own demands on Ashley. There are forces working against Ashley and she finds that her life is in danger from more than one source. As the story escalates towards a climatic ending, the violence also escalates and Ashley has to keep her wits about her. As with Ms French's previous books, bold Surrender is well researched and the characters well developed. There are a number of characters and each one is important to the story. I found the violence difficult to read, however, it did form an integral part of the story. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
